The Long N' Short of It

James Newman returns with a collection of tales of violence, sickness, depravity, and of course, blood. The Long n' Short of It includes: Baggage, The Forum, Big Girls Help Their Mommy, Duty, Olden, Under the Mistletoe, The Virgin of Full Moon Falls, Revenge Flick!, A Serial Killer Walks Into a Bar (script), and Ugly as Sin (comic script excerpt). James Newman's tales of horror and suspense have earned praise from some of the best in the genre. In these pages, you can read for yourself what all the fuss is about: from flash fiction, to fan-favorite novellas, and even a peek at an unproduced script or two. Here you will learn that even serial killers need a place to make friends and share tricks of their trade . . . you'll fight to survive in a roomful of people stuck in the worst place to be when the world goes to hell . . . you'll attend the last Christmas party on Earth, where a drunken tryst with a co-worker is sure to be the least of your worries . . . and you'll meet a struggling actor who becomes a household name for all the wrong reasons. That's the long n' short of it. And it barely scratches the surface (enough to bleed).
